FIDDLER ON THE ROOF IN YIDDISH Talk & Performance Announced At 92Y

92Y announces Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish: Conversation and Performances on Tuesday, March 19 at 7:30 pm. Oscar and Tony-winner Joel Grey who directed this new critically acclaimed production of Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish will be joined on stage by Jackie Hoffman, Steven Skybell, Jennifer Babiak, with performances accompanied by Zalmen Mlotek (Music Director and Artistic Director of The National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene) and including cast members Stephanie Lynn Mason, Rosie Jo Neddy, Rachel Zatcoff.

Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish had never been staged in the United States until this production was presented at NYTF at the Museum of Jewish Heritage this past summer. The story of The Yiddish translation, originally performed in Israel in 1965, was artfully crafted by Shraga Friedman, a renown Israeli actor/director just one year after the Broadway debut of Fiddler on the Roof.
